Today's Young People Don't Want Kids, and I'm Worried Sick

In a parallel world, Longguo is encouraging couples to have a second child, but young people are generally unwilling to do so. The birth rate has fallen below 1%, and the marriage rate this year has hit a record low!

"As an Eighties kid, I regret having a second child! Four elderly parents to care for, two little ones to raise, rushing around all day, and in the end I couldn't look after either generation properly. My own life became a complete mess too!"

"As a Nineties kid saddled with a mortgage, I can't afford to have another one either! Let the kids born in the 2000s handle the national duty of having babies!"

"We're all still babies ourselves. Why should we have babies too?"

"I've never planned to get married in my life! No dowry, no wedding house, no worries about raising kids!"
